NEW BRIGHTON RUGBY
Congratulations to a number of our students, who won awards at the New Brighton Rugby
Club end of year celebrations, and to those who were selected to age group Canterbury
teams.
Saturday 30
th
August was the day the mighty New Brighton Rangers won the 2014 Under 11
division 3 rugby finals.
We lost two games but made up for it by doing runs to the far posts, prone holds, suicide
runs, pushups and all the rest, to make it to the finals.
We played Christchurch and won 25 10. It was a hard season but it was worth it in the
end. By Ben, Room 7
